<p class="indent">The opening of an Arabic translation the <em>Tuhfat al-mu'minin</em>, a popular Persian pharmacopoeia by <a href="bioT.html#tunakabuni">Tunak&#257;bun&#299;</a> which he dedicated to Shah Sulayman, the <a href="glossary.html#safavid">Safavid</a> ruler of Persia from 1666 to 1694. This translation was prepared by Mustaf&#225; Dars &#8216;Am Yusuf Zadah, known as al-Shirwani, who transcribed part of the copy himself and completed it on 2 Muharram 1166 (= 9 November 1752). No other copy is recorded.</p>
<br class="clearboth" />
<h2><span class="h2blue">Physical Description</span></h2>
<p class="indent">Arabic. 414 <a href="glossary.html#leaves">leaves</a> (fols. 1b-414a). <a href="glossary.html#dimensions">Dimensions</a> 21.5 x 16 (text area 16.5 x 10) cm; 21 lines per page. The title <em>Mufrad&#257;t mu&#8216;arrabah</em> (<em>The Simple Medicaments</em>) is given in the colophon (fol. 414a, line 6); the title <em>Tu<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7717;</font>fat al-mu&#8217;min&#299;n</em> is given on fol. 1b, line 8. The author Tunak&#257;bun&#299; is named in the text (fol. 1b, line 9). The Arabic translator is identified (fol. 1b lines 6-7) as: Mu<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7779;</font><font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7789;</font>af&#225; Dars &#8216;&#256;m Y&#363;suf Z&#257;dah, known as (<em>al-shah&#299;r bi-</em>) al-Shirw&#257;n&#299;.</p>
<p class="indent">According to the <a href="glossary.html#colophon">colophon</a>, the copy was completed on 2 Muharram 1166 (= 9 November 1752) by Dars &#8216;&#256;m Y&#363;suf al-shah&#299;r bi-al-Shirw&#257;n&#299; (fol. 414a, lines 9-10). The translator is apparently also the <a href="glossary.html#copyist">copyist</a>. However, the hand noticeably changed at fol. 244b, and it is uncertain whether the first half of the volume is in the handwriting of the translator, or the second half.</p>
<p class="indent">Only one other copy of an Arabic translation of this popular Persian work is recorded, now in Tehran, and the translator is not named in that copy.</p>
<p class="indent">The text is written in a medium-small, somewhat awkward, <a href="glossary.html#naskh">naskh</a>, using black ink with headings in red. The text area has been <a href="glossary.html#frame">frame-ruled</a>. On fol. 244b the hand changes though the paper remains consistent. There are <a href="glossary.html#catchword">catchwords</a>. The copy is composed of 42 numbered <a href="glossary.html#quires">quires</a> of 10 <a href="glossary.html#folio">folios</a> each, except for the 7th quire which has only nine leaves and the last quire which has five leaves.</p>
<p class="indent">There are scattered <a href="glossary.html#marginalia">marginalia</a>. The folios were earlier numbered in <a href="glossary.html#arabic">Arabic numerals</a>. The volume has been recently renumbered in <a href="glossary.html#western">Western numerals</a>. Fols. 41-414 in the recent renumbering were numbered incorrectly with Arabic numerals as 51-426; in addition, numbers 80 and 424 were skipped in the earlier numbering.</p>
<p class="indent">The fairly thick, lightly-glossed, light-beige paper is yellowed near the edges. There are <a href="glossary.html#laid">laid lines</a>, single <a href="glossary.html#chain">chain lines</a> and <a href="glossary.html#watermarks">watermarks</a>. The paper is stained near the edges with damp and thumbing. Fols. 1 and 417 are <a href="glossary.html#guarded">guarded</a>.</p>
<p class="indent">The volume consists of 417 leaves. Fols. 415ab and 416a are blank except for notes about the numerical value of the name 'Mustaf&#225;'. Recipes, pious statements, and miscellaneous notes have been added by a later hand to fols. 1a, 414b, 416b, and 417ab.</p>
<h2><span class="h2blue">Binding</span></h2>
<p class="indent">The volume is bound in <a href="glossary.html#blind">blind-tooled</a> red leather over <a href="glossary.html#pasteboards">pasteboard</a> front and back covers and <a href="glossary.html#envelope">envelope flap</a>. The covers and envelope flap have blind-stamped central ovate medallions with pendant and large blind-stamped floral corner pieces, surrounded by a fairly wide frame of single <a href="glossary.html#fillet">fillets</a> filled with stamped leaves. The wide <a href="glossary.html#fore">fore-edge flap</a> has a similar decorative <a href="glossary.html#frames">frame</a>. The <a href="glossary.html#bindings">binding</a> is much repaired with recent red leather. There are modern paper <a href="glossary.html#pastedowns">pastedowns</a> and <a href="glossary.html#endpapers">endpapers</a>.</p>
<h2><span class="h2blue">Provenance</span></h2>
<p class="indent">These is an undated owner's note for one Mu<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7717;</font>ammad, son of the deceased <a href="glossary.html#shaykh">shaykh</a> &#8216;Abd al-Ra<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7717;</font>&#299;m Shalh&#363;b&#299;(?) al-Zalzani (?).</p>
<p class="indent">The volume was purchased in 1941 by the Army Medical Library from A.S. Yahuda who acquired it in Damascus (ELS 2362). </p>
